Previous Counseling

Hi Alex, that's fine. :)

Please let me know when you are ready!

Hi Vera,

It seems to me that during these weeks I am unable to predict my work/leisure balance, so I am not able to predict how much time I am able to spend to my Chinese studies and again I fail to meet the deadline of this Friday.

Said that I suggest the following approach - I shall move forward according to our plan (the list of lessons which you gave me) and then I shall propose the date for the test when the completion from my side will be foreseen more or less clear...

Regards,

Alex.

:) Alex, literally,it means "stick". "awesome" is a kind of slang meaning, like a phrase.

你很棒。

sorry, I didn't mention the lesson title - it is "world records"

Hi Vera, question regarding the lesson:

is the meaning "awesome" for 棒 a kind of a slang meaning? In my dictionary it is translated like stick, club, truncheon; hit

Thanks, Sasha.

Hi Alex, That's fine. :)

Hi Vera,

Hope you're doing well.

I am asking you again to reschedule our test one week later - to November 14, same time as already agreed.

Thank you very much for understanding

Regards,

Alex

Vera,

Sorry, I was not available for the monthly test during last three weeks because I was out of the country and with limited internet access. Surely I will be ready for it in the middle of August - it would be good if we could preliminary schedule the date right today.

Thanks, Alex.

Dear Vera,

Yes, that would be Ok, thank you.

Regards,

Alex

Dear Alex, If you found it it too much for you. Than what about learn the first three lessons per week?

Hi Vera!

During my studies I found out that the plan you proposed below is quite aggressive for me - I am not able to study thoroughly 5 lessons per week - I just do not have time for that.

May we decrease the number of lessons from 5 to 3 per week?

Thanks,

Alex.
